A Morsel

A MORSEL This is a sweet bitter morsel It is very bitter and sweet It is sweet as honey And bitter as bile A morsel of boneless But harder than skull A morsel of honour Likewise a morsel of disgrace A channel of bliss and sorrow Protagonist in nature Likewise antagonist in career A character of comic Likewise character of tragic It builds than bricklayers And destroyed as yam beetles, maize weevils In addition as termites It traveles miles as air does That morsel rolls between triggers The morsel tasty sweetness and bitterness A morsel kills faster than poison And safe faster than safeguard People are rotted in prison Just because of it misused Promotion and demotion come The way it is applied People have used it to kill generations While others have used it to sustain generation Some will be kings in hell through that morsel That morsel will lead some to paradise That morsel is very vital That morsel is an element of prayer and curse A useful articulator Vital organ of speech Don't speak because you must talk But because you have something reasonable to say Regretting upon your silence is a golden Than regretting after utterances Hope you have understood that morsel? Tongue! Tongue! Tongue! A sweet bitter morsel. ,©® Junaid Abdul Wakeel "young writer " 10/8/17
